“Moses und Aron” decorated the opening of the 2018/2019 season. It was in 1975 that this work was first performed at the Saxony State Opera (Semperoper). It was a premiere in East Germany. The directing at that time was Harry Kupfer. This new production is Calixto Bieito from Catalunya who has been talking about the subject in radical production. One of the themes that can be asked in the work is “Do you see God or not?” Bieito moved the stage of the story to modern society. There are people who will use the virtual reality goggles and live by seeing their personality. They respond to what they saw in their own way. It was John Tomlinson who had been singing the role many times so far that was appointed to Moses. He is known as the premier of Moses’ singing. There is no doubt that his presence greatly contributed to the success of the performance.
